    With all due respect - If it’s Brown, send him down. The guy doesn’t have it as a starter.

    It seems like we lose games in one inning, then it’s playing catch-up the whole way.

    Top of the 1st

    leadoff double, doesn't move
    2 batters reach, double play

    Bottom of the 1st

    first three reach, one runners goes 1st-to-3rd and 2nd-to-home on a single

    2-0 (I'm three minutes behind)

    This game is complete garbage already. Offense getting no "extra" bases while KC already has multiple times.

    Brown is completely sucking this season.

    I called for the sweep as soon as the first game ended. And here we are.

    Espada firing likely announced this evening or in the morning.

    Is it too early for a position player pitching?

    Not getting Snell was a mistake. Hunter shouldn't be in the majors, Spaghetti wasn't ready, etc. This team is going to be so buried by the time the injured pitchers get healthy it will take a 2005 comeback to be relevant. Tough season it appears.

    Brown doesn't have starter stuff. He needs to be moved to the bullpen where we need help.

    Even if the pitching was better, with the lack of offense, would we still be winless against them?

    The worst thing about a contender having a season go south on them is that the same players causing the losses are the ones who have no trade value. Abreu, Bregman, Tucker, Dubon, Valdez, Verlander, and Pressly have all seen their trade value dip in the early going of this season. So if this continues and Houston ends up positioned as deadline sellers, they may not even be able to improve their long term outlook in any meaningful way.
